I Will See You In Far-Off Places Lyrics
Nobody knows what human life is
Why we come, why we go. So why then do I know?
I will see you
I will see you in far off places.
The heart knows why I grieve
And yes one day I will close my eyes forever
But I will see you
I will see you in far off places.
It’s so easy for us to sit together
But it’s so hard for our hearts to combine
And why?
And why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Destiny for some is to save lives
But destiny for some is to end lives
But there is no end
And I will see you in far off places.
If your God bestows protection upon you
And if the USA doesn’t bomb you
I believe I will see you somewhere safe
Looking to the camera, messing around
And pulling faces.
Why we come, why we go. So why then do I know?
I will see you
I will see you in far off places.
And yes one day I will close my eyes forever
But I will see you
I will see you in far off places.
But it’s so hard for our hearts to combine
And why?
And why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
But destiny for some is to end lives
But there is no end
And I will see you in far off places.
And if the USA doesn’t bomb you
I believe I will see you somewhere safe
Looking to the camera, messing around
And pulling faces.

I hope with all my soul that this is on the album.
According to online tracklists for Ringleader of the Tormentors, it is
Its the first track, and it makes a fantastic opener to a fantastic album.
I think it goes without saying that its an anti-war song. I read somewhere that its about Osama but I don't really think it is; I think its to the world in general.
It definitely grows on you.
In a recent interview (the SWSX one I think) when asked whether it was adressing Bin Laden he replied yes and said it was adressing anyone in the middle east who was in that position. But he wouldn't elaborate on anything else haha ;)
They actually interviewed Osama about this song?!
anyways i can't see where it's about osama bin laden it just sounds like it's about someone who can't manage a relationship but holds on to the hope that he will see this person after he dies ( and perhaps things have changed)
No, I don't think it's about relationships. The last verse sort of gives it away. And no, they did not interview bin Laden, only Morrissey.
I don't know, but what I understand in it is that is talks about terrorists that believe they will go to paradise if they die as 'martyrs'. And that this belief is absurd.
I know its a horrible thing to say, but wouldn't it be the funniest thing EVER if Osama Bin Laden turned out to be a HUGE Mozz fan? And Mozz knew? And this was their secret acknowledgement of each other?
Hahahahahahaha.
LOL!!!
LOL!!!
I think it's more of the age old question of God and life beyond death, rather than relationships. What is the meaning of life and what will happen after death. Of course there is reference to aggressive American foreign policy of which Morrissey is a veteran critic. 'If the USA doesn't bomb' you is said tongue in cheek but is relevant.
